Starhub pre-orders for Lumia 1020 begin

The Nokia Lumia 1020, while not very high on our overall smartphone list, does pack the best mobile camera of today. Not only that, it is the most powerful of Windows Phone devices as well.

Starhub has opened pre-orders for it as of an hour ago, but SingTel and M1 have declined to comment on when they would be doing so.

Pre-order the new Nokia Lumia 1020 with free camera grip here today and receive a wireless charging backcover, wireless charging plate and a lanyard. Plus, stand a chance to attend a free photography workshop, total worth over $300.

If you wish to buy it off-contract, it is retailing for $999 without contract at all Nokia Stores and Nokia Solution Partners. What’s more, they are even throwing in a free camera grip to go together with it (the accessory which transforms it into a camera).

The Nokia Lumia is a very powerful cameraphone, but is only available on the Windows Phone 8 platform. It has a 41 MP PureView camera, a 4.5″ 720p AMOLED screen, 32 GB non-expandable storage, 2 GB RAM, a dual core Qualcomm S4pro processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, the Adreno 225 GPU and a 2000 mAh battery.

The pre-order ends 2 October, 12 noon. So, Windows Phone lovers, what are you waiting for? Click on the link, and get your Lumia 1020 now!
